| if you had this system, what would you do to make it sound the best you can I strongly encourage you to optimize the system you currently have before you consider replacing any of your major components. I would do the following, in this order: 1. Boot the equalizer 2. Optimize speaker placement and listening position. ... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I really don’t understand why these arguments continue. Why do the two camps care about the “experience”, “perceptions” or “biases/expectations” of those in the other camp. If you don’t accept cable break in as real, why even open this thread, let... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @mitch2 see my response above | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming Sure. The fundamental improvement it offers when compared to the other routers I auditioned is a very significant reduction in the noise floor. I hear all of the musical benefits one would expect from a darker background: deeper and more realistic... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming I recently had my ISP install the most recent router they have available for their customers: Calix. I was surprised to see and hear significant improvements in the video and audio performance on my television and the audio delivered from my ... | |
| Best Covers Lots of great covers listed already. +1 Greg Allman, These Days, but Nico’s is my fave cover of the song. +1 for all the Johnny Cash covers. The American Recordings are sensational. Let me turn it around and point out a great cover of one of J C... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! I bought two components in the early 1980s with sonic signatures that matched quite well my listening biases/preferences: - a pair of Spica TC-50 speakers - a counterpoint sa-7 preamp These two components, combined with various front ends and a... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @unreceivedogma i’m hardly new here. I’ve been around for nearly 15 years, but don’t feel a need to comment on every thread; I try to reserve comments for discussions in which I have something appropriate or useful to say. It’s a shame you see tha... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @asmithkash I couldn’t agree more. I’m always thrilled by these kinds of discussions, for the opportunity they provide to learn about music I know not yet. I drew from this one a list of 8-10 LPs with which I am unfamiliar. They will guide my next... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @wsrrsw Thanks very much. I suspected an LPS would darken the background, at minimum. Did you explore the effectiveness of the PSU without the clock, and the clock without the PSU? | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @wsrrsw I just picked up an uptone audio etherregen. Uptone claims there is no need for an LPS with it. Can you elaborate on your experience with the after dark PSU and clock with your etherregen? | |

| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge +1 for the Grado If you haven’t listened in a while to a MM cartridge in your system, I encourage you to give the Grado a spin. I currently have the Hana ML mounted on my TT. I like it, but it demands a good deal more of my phono pre than the Gra... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! @kennymacc Congratulations on finding your endgame speakers. What a joy to complete a big equipment search and move on to the music again! +1 Reference 3A mm de Capo I’ve been drawn all my life to time aligned speaker designs using simple crosso... | |
| USB Cable Let me start with a disclaimer: my system is modest in comparison to those of others who have responded to this question. A move to a smaller home 10 years ago forced me from my multi-component tube based Counterpoint system, fully upgraded by Mik... |
